The name 'netns_local' is confusing. A following commit will export it via
netlink, so let's use a more explicit name.

Kalle Valo says:
====================
wireless-next patches for v6.13
The first -next "new features" pull request for v6.13. This is a big
one as we have not been able to send one earlier. We have also some
patches affecting other subsystems: in staging we deleted the rtl8192e
driver and in debugfs added a new interface to save struct
file_operations memory; both were acked by GregKH.
Because of the lib80211/libipw move there were quite a lot of
conflicts and to solve those we decided to merge net-next into
wireless-next.
Major changes:
cfg80211/mac80211
* stop exporting wext symbols
* new mac80211 op to indicate that a new interface is to be added
* support radio separation of multi-band devices
Wireless Extensions
* move wext spy implementation to libiw
* remove iw_public_data from struct net_device
brcmfmac
* optional LPO clock support
ipw2x00
* move remaining lib80211 code into libiw
wilc1000
* WILC3000 support
rtw89
* RTL8852BE and RTL8852BE-VT BT-coexistence improvements
* tag 'wireless-next-2024-10-25' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wireless/wireless-next: (126 commits)
mac80211: Remove NOP call to ieee80211_hw_config
wifi: iwlwifi: work around -Wenum-compare-conditional warning
wifi: mac80211: re-order assigning channel in activate links

Add a persistent NAPI config area for NAPI configuration to the core.
Drivers opt-in to setting the persistent config for a NAPI by passing an
index when calling netif_napi_add_config.
napi_config is allocated in alloc_netdev_mqs, freed in free_netdev
(after the NAPIs are deleted).
Drivers which call netif_napi_add_config will have persistent per-NAPI
settings: NAPI IDs, gro_flush_timeout, and defer_hard_irq settings.
Per-NAPI settings are saved in napi_disable and restored in napi_enable.

Allow per-NAPI gro_flush_timeout setting.
The existing sysfs parameter is respected; writes to sysfs will write to
all NAPI structs for the device and the net_device gro_flush_timeout
field. Reads from sysfs will read from the net_device field.
The ability to set gro_flush_timeout on specific NAPI instances will be
added in a later commit, via netdev-genl.

The doc pages under /networking/net_cachelines are unreadable because
they lack .rst formatting for the tabular text.
Add simple table markup and tidy up the table contents:
- remove dashes that represent empty cells because they render
as bullets and are not needed
- replace 'struct_*' with 'struct *' in the first column so that
sphinx can render links for any structs that appear in the docs

Given the previous patches, we no longer need the
struct iw_public_data etc., it's only used by the
old Intel drivers (and ps3_gelic creates it but
then doesn't use it). Remove all of that, including
the pointer in struct net_device.

Upcoming per-netns RTNL conversion needs to get rid
of shared hash tables.
fib_info_devhash[] is one of them.
It is unclear why we used a hash table, because
a single hlist_head per net device was cheaper and scalable.

Some network devices have the ability to offload EDT (Earliest
Departure Time) which is the model used for TCP pacing and FQ
packet scheduler.
Some of them implement the timing wheel mechanism described in
https://saeed.github.io/files/carousel-sigcomm17.pdf
with an associated 'timing wheel horizon'.
This patch adds dev->max_pacing_offload_horizon expressing
this timing wheel horizon in nsec units.
This is a read-only attribute.
Unless a driver sets it, dev->max_pacing_offload_horizon
is zero.
v2: addressed Jakub feedback ( https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20240930152304.472767-2-edumazet@google.com/T/#mf6294d714c41cc459962154cc2580ce3c9693663 )

In commit 6f8b12d661d0 ("net: napi: add hard irqs deferral feature")
napi_defer_irqs was added to net_device and napi_defer_irqs_count was
added to napi_struct, both as type int.
This value never goes below zero, so there is not reason for it to be a
signed int. Change the type for both from int to u32, and add an
overflow check to sysfs to limit the value to S32_MAX.
The limit of S32_MAX was chosen because the practical limit before this
patch was S32_MAX (anything larger was an overflow) and thus there are
no behavioral changes introduced. If the extra bit is needed in the
future, the limit can be raised.
Before this patch:
$ sudo bash -c 'echo 2147483649 > /sys/class/net/eth4/napi_defer_hard_irqs'
$ cat /sys/class/net/eth4/napi_defer_hard_irqs
-2147483647
After this patch:
$ sudo bash -c 'echo 2147483649 > /sys/class/net/eth4/napi_defer_hard_irqs'
bash: line 0: echo: write error: Numerical result out of range
Similarly, /sys/class/net/XXXXX/tx_queue_len is defined as unsigned:
include/linux/netdevice.h: unsigned int tx_queue_len;
And has an overflow check:
dev_change_tx_queue_len(..., unsigned long new_len):
if (new_len != (unsigned int)new_len)
return -ERANGE;

Make dev->priv_flags `u32` back and define bits higher than 31 as
bitfield booleans as per Jakub's suggestion. This simplifies code
which accesses these bits with no optimization loss (testb both
before/after), allows to not extend &netdev_priv_flags each time,
but also scales better as bits > 63 in the future would only add
a new u64 to the structure with no complications, comparing to
that extending ::priv_flags would require converting it to a bitmap.
Note that I picked `unsigned long :1` to not lose any potential
optimizations comparing to `bool :1` etc.

Analyzed a few structs in the networking stack by looking at variables
within them that are used in the TCP/IP fast path.
Fast path is defined as TCP path where data is transferred from sender to
receiver unidirectionally. It doesn't include phases other than
TCP_ESTABLISHED, nor does it look at error paths.
We hope to re-organizing variables that span many cachelines whose fast
path variables are also spread out, and this document can help future
developers keep networking fast path cachelines small.
Optimized_cacheline field is computed as
(Fastpath_Bytes/L3_cacheline_size_x86), and not the actual organized
results (see patches to come for these).
Investigation is done on 6.5
Name Struct_Cachelines Cur_fastpath_cache Fastpath_Bytes Optimized_cacheline
tcp_sock 42 (2664 Bytes) 12 396 8
net_device 39 (2240 bytes) 12 234 4
inet_sock 15 (960 bytes) 14 922 14
Inet_connection_sock 22 (1368 bytes) 18 1166 18
Netns_ipv4 (sysctls) 12 (768 bytes) 4 77 2
linux_mib 16 (1060) 6 104 2
Note how there isn't much improvement space for inet_sock and
Inet_connection_sock because sk and icsk_inet respectively takes up so
much of the struct that rest of the variables become a small portion of
the struct size.
So, we decided to reorganize tcp_sock, net_device, netns_ipv4
